We had the most wonderful stay! What a beautiful cosy house, amazing view and gorgeous surroundings, and just the perfect location for enjoying some of Scotland. We even had the best surprise of having snow! It was just so beautiful! The hosts were very responsive to any queries we had and gave great recommendations of the local area. We would highly recommend!
We had a wonderful stay at The Kennels. Firsty the communication with Laura and Lisa was excellent prior to our trip and the instructions on how to find and get into the cottage were spot on. 4 lovely bedrooms, great living area and a very well equipped kitchen. Plenty outside seating areas, I would recommend (if you're up early enough) grabbing a cuppa and sitting on the bench out the front early morning, absolutely stunning! We were lucky enough to see some wildlife which included pheasants, red squirrels, deer and some sheep from afar. What stood out most was the bird song and the woodpecker. So peaceful and tranquil, you really feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. We would love to come back, our only regret was not exploring the estate more so we plan to do this another time.
Thank you. We loved our stay in your cottage. So beautiful and peaceful. The children loved exploring, and mature woodlands are stunning. We even saw (and heard!) a woodpecker and red squirrel, and lots of deer. We really enjoyed our family gathering, and the cottage was perfect for our stay.
